The Black Friday Aftermath: A Cautionary Tale

Hey, fellow HHJs! I hope that you had a wonderful holiday! I'm posting this as both a cautionary tale, and to prevent myself from doing anymore damage. As you all know, I'm a PJ. Black Friday is like Christmas for my hair, but not for my wallet. Here is what I purchased this season:

While I don't regret any of my purchases, I went a little overboard. These purchases take my product stash count up to 52 products and samples, though I am near the end of a number of products. As a result, with the exception of a rollersetting product, I'm putting myself on a no-buy while I enjoy my stash. Until I get down to 25 products or to Mother's Day (whichever is earlier), I will not be able to buy anything unless it is either the replenishment of a necessary staple (i.e., I need a cleanser and have none) or the product is on sale by at least 33% including shipping. Anytime I get the urge, I'll look at this post.

On the upside, I won't need to buy any deep conditioners this year because I have 12 in my stash :)
